Philosophy and style of working:

The benefits of integrative counselling are the ability to draw upon carefully selected interventions to support clients. Ruth’s philosophy is to work alongside her clients to enable them to make choices which will change their lives. Ruth practices integrative counselling which looks at both the present experience of the individual and their early life to help clients understand the underlying cause of their issues and/or any negative patterns of relating. Ruth offers counselling on a short-term and long-term basis and in addition facilitates parent/child relationships.
